Beecology


Let me introduce you to a company that is sure to cause lots of buzz,  Beecology!  While shopping on their site you will find an assortment of exceptional line of natural beauty products.  It all started over six year ago when David let a co worker put a bee hive on his family farm, soon he would turn into a beekeeper himself.  He became fascinated with the science and culture of bees, and before he knew it he began researching bees,  and even attending  workshops at an agricultural campus.  After realizing how similar our world is to the bees,  he decided to create natural skincare and hair products using beeswax,  honey,  and other products that are good for not only us,  but the entire world! 

Beecology sent me a generous selection of their products including Original Honey Hand & Body Cream,  Buzz Balm,  and three different scented Handcrafted Natural Soaps.  As I opened the box I noticed the pleasing aroma coming from the box,  which I later determined to be coming from the soaps!  You can easily identify this wonderful company by their bee mascot,  that can be found on each one of their products.  The name of their company(Beecology), fits their products to a tee!



Beecology offers 8 exceptional soaps in an assortment of fragrances including:
  1. Hot Chocolate Swirl
  2. Honey Morning Oatmeal Peppermint
  3. Totally Hip Hemp
  4. Honey and Lavender
  5. Tea Tree Oil
  6. Dead Sea Mud
  7. Java Soappuccino Coffee
  8. My Big Fat Greek Yogurt and Honey
Beecology was kind enough to send me three of their soaps to try out. Each one of their soaps are all natural and pure made by hand.  I received the Hot Chocolate Swirl,  Honey Morning Oatmeal Peppermint,  and the My Big Fat Greek Yogurt and Honey.  The Hot Chocolate Swirl Soap featured swirls of chocolate mixed with swirls of goats milk.  The goats milk helps moisturize your skin,  while the cocoa leaves your skin with a mild chocolate scent that is not at all strong, or overpowering.    I was actually surprised by how mellow the scent was,  compared to the other two soaps.  This soap is a limited edition soap that they make especially for Valentine's Day!

I love the name of the "My Big Fat Greek Yogurt and Honey".  I am a quarter Greek myself, and I am a fan of the movie,  So I thought the name of the soap was really relevant to me.  This bar is truly a work of art with whirls of yellow honey running through the white yogurt bar.  The scent isn't at all sweet,  and actually smells really fresh, so you may want to guard it from your husband!  This particular bar of soap contains The Saponified Oils of: Olive,  Palm,  Coconut,  Shea Butter(my favorite), Beeswax,  Yogurt, Honey,  and Juniper Berry Oil.

Why not start your morning out with The Peppermint Morning & Oat Morning Soap!  This fabulous bar of soap will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated,  with it's fresh minty scent of peppermint,  and healing oatmeal soap.  As the oatmeal calms your skin the Shea Butter and Bees Wax helps nourish and condition your skin.  This invigorating all natural soap contains no preservatives and is free of synthetic fragrances.  This scent was my overall favorite out of all three of the soaps!

The Original Honey Hand & Body Cream contains a blend of all natural exotic moisturizers from around the world.  It is not at all greasy and actually rather creamy and soft feeling.  The Original Hand & Body Cream soothes,  relieves and heals all different types of skin, including my entire families!  It is very gentle and does not irritate your skin.  This lotion really helped moisturize my skin and left it feeling silky smooth,  while looking vibrant and healthy. I was not very fond of the scent, but maybe that is because it really does not have much of a scent.  I can't complain though,  because it sure did it's job!  My husband actually likes the scent though and also enjoys using the lotion.

I love their Natural Lip Balm,  which reminded me a lot of Burt's Bees Lip Balm.  It has an invigorating  minty fresh peppermint scent that lasts on your lips quite a while,  so you do not have to continually reapply it.  This product is great to use all season long,  no matter if you are at the snow,  or under the bright sun. I like to keep a tube of it in my purse,  so I can use it any time my lips feel dry.  It really helps my lips stay moisturized and healthy.  Besides these pampering products,  they also offer shampoo,  conditioner,  body wash,  gift baskets,  and even tee shirts printed with their cute little beecology mascot. 

BUY IT: You can purchase all of their products on their site.  The Soaps are priced at $5.99 each,  Hand & Body Cream will run you $12.99,  and the Natural Lip Balm is $2.99.

*Disclaimer - Beecology kindly sent me a variety of their products for review purposes($34Value).  In no way did this alter my opinion of their products.  All of my opinions are one hundred percent honest and true.*
